Heal Mother Wounds & Break Free
The Mother Wound & Why You Must Heal It
It’s time to end your emotional pain, break the cycle of relationship struggles, and step into your true confidence.
I help women heal their mother wounds, end their struggles and break free in: life, relationships, career—every area of their life.
When we can heal our mothers wounds, we can step into our full power.
As part of the healing process, we review the type of relationship you had/have with your mother. This awareness plays a vital role as it guides our work together, helps uncover the root cause of your recurring struggles, the type of wounds that exist and the extend of wounds you have.
Sometimes mother wounds can be little traumas and others can be big traumas.
As we work together, we tackle each mother wound one slow, gentle, step at a time. And sometimes we can tackle multiple mother wounds at a time as they are interrelated.
If my client is also a mother, I also educate them on their “vital role”:
how their mother wounds impact the way they parent their children
the importance of raising secure vs. insecure children and what that looks like
why it’s critical to raise emotionally resilient, confident children
Your relationship with your mother is your first experience of what love feels and looks like.
It’s also your first relationship, teaching you how to show up in and what to expect from a relationship.
Our mother is our guide in life. We rely on her for nurturing, safety, protection, guidance, unconditional love.
The type of maternal love and care a woman receives from her mother during her upbringing (and through her life) informs how she will feel about herself in relationships and throughout her life.
For example, if you were emotionally neglected during your upbringing , meaning you were not comforted when expressing your emotions, you were then taught to ignore, bypass or shut down your emotions.
The mother wound that results is “emotional neglect.”
Then as you continue to grow up, you ignore your feelings and emotions; you do not know how to identify, feel and express them—and be vulnerable with others.
This then turns into a life and relationship struggle as we need emotional expression and connection to thrive and get close with others.
Your emotional neglect wound will also perpetuate in your life until you heal it. And in many cases, it can worsen if not addressed.
